the test! someone's actually USING ddr333

[Kenjura]

I just ordered an asus a7v333 and a stick of lovely corsair pc2700 ram (256 mb). I felt a little weird, considering it's been almost a whole year (gasp) since I upgraded to a t-bird 1.333 / 512mb ddr266 / amd 760.

anyhow, I'm going to get the new board and ram soon. I'll plug in the old t-bird, because I don't feel like shelling out the $270 for an elusive 2100+.


if ddr333 is actually faster than 266 somehow, I'll be sure to let everyone know. ^_^

Well, I think that's a dead give-away. That's what DDR333 is all about, is to be faster than DDR1600, 2100 & 2400. Now if you didn't feel like spending so much on 2100, how did you afford 2700? 2700's are more expensive you know.

Kenjura is talking about an AMD 2100+ costing $270.

Kenjura where did you order your Asus board?

Lots of people are already using DDR333 (PC700) RAM. They're the P4 Northwood OC'ers. Almost all the DDR P4 boards have the ability to run the RAM speed asyncronously (sp?) from the FSB. I'm running my 2 x 512Mb sticks of Corsair PC2700 RAM at 340Mhz, CAS2 and it's not even breathing hard. I'm getting Sandra 2002 Memory scores right at 2600. The PC2100 RAM scores around low 2000's, generally. There's other guys running their RAM around 370Mhx+ also. Sniff around in some of the P4 threads and see what peeps are running.

I found it at computerhq.com, which has been very reliable so far. ^_^

when are you getting your board? Is your cpu unlocked?
